I've heard or read that the green lasts at least 50% longer than the orange or yellow tritium inserts. Is that true? I've never tried the two color sights before, but I can see where it would be good to know instantly which dot is the front if you were a little distracted by something else. I also saw an add for blue tritium sights. Has anyone ever used blue before?

Hmm. I may have to try those next time, JBirds. They look pretty good, and they're a good $40 cheaper than Trijicon's or Meprolights!

I've got Trijicon's on all my Glocks, and my HK USPc. I have Novak's on my Raptor. I really like the Novak's. But it's just for looks I think. I like the ramped look, and the way it blends into the slide. I've heard people comment about Novak style sights being a problem though in a situation where you loose function of your weak arm for some reason and have to operate the slide using a belt or shoe sole and hooking the rear sight on to it. I don't know how practical or impractical it is, but I guess it's one of those be prepared for any situation type things. The Trijicon's are great. Nothing special. The set I just had put on my G17 replaced another pair of Trijicon's that had been on the gun since 1991, I bought the gun from an LEO friend in 2001, and they were still relatively bright. When I replaced them, they were mucho dim, and one rear dot was almost out. I haven't had any trouble shooting in the day time with them, but I still have young eyes. I can definitely see how in a few years it would get more difficult.
